Looking into getting a new monitor because i can't play more than 4 without there being a overlap lol, does anyone know how big of a monitor id need to fit say 9 tables on without there being a overlap (3 across /3 down) Or will it be a waste of time cauz sky were on about making it able for you to re-size the tables?

    I think the amount of pixels is more important than size as far as this is concerned.I think 2560 by 1600 is the most you can get and it costs.

    3x3 on

    mini view would need a resolution of 1545 x 1128

    standard view (no chat) would need a resolution of  2478 x 1914

    standard view (with chat) would need a resolution of  3108 x 1914

    3108 x 1914 isn't achievable with one monitor.

    2478 x 1914 you could fit onto a QSXGA monitor, for only $7679 HERE

    1545 x 1128 you could fit onto a 1920 x 1200 monitor, for only £240 HERE

    So mini view on a 1920 x 1200 monitor is you best option.

    On that monitor it would look similar(ish) to THIS

    The reason I say ish is that screen shot was taken in the browser client and the download client windows are a little bit smaller.

    THIS would fix 3x3 mini view, although it's not the largest monitor at only 21.5"

    Yes, to getting a monitor even though you use a laptop.  You can just connect it to the VGA/DVI/HDMI port on the back of the laptop.

    Probably the best way to set this up is to use it in dual screen mode.  Which is basically like having 2 separate windows desktops.  You can then move windows to and from screens as you like.

    Usually takes a bit of fiddling to get set up correctly though!

    At the moment no there isn't, but I understand that Sky are working on a way for tables to be resized.
